[Samba] Win2000 - Very Slow opening files from Samba Share

[Kerns, Mike]

When we upgraded to 2.2.3a, speed increased dramatically with w2k clients
opening files, especially excel with embedded VB macros.  Apologies in
advance to the list for sounding like a Micro$oft help desk employee, but
you should upgrade.  :)
